Notable: Montgomery alleges that government wiretapped 17 Trump businesses, Trump Tower, Trump leasing programs, DJT himself and Trump family members

http://theamericanreport.org/2017/07/20/obamas-surveillance-hammer-trump-worse-watergate/

EXCERPTS:

Montgomery alleges that the U.S. government wiretapped 17 Trump businesses including Trump Tower, Trump leasing programs, Donald Trump himself and various Trump family members. All were wiretapped under the Obama administration. There has been a wiretap on Trump for years, according to Montgomery.

Although the suit does not identify the surveillance system by name, audio recordings released in 2015 by United States District Court Judge G. Murray Snow in Maricopa County, Arizona identify a secret government surveillance system called “the Hammer,” allegedly used to spy on Trump, 159 judges including Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and millions of other Americans.

Klayman reported that Montgomery indicated that the surveillance program also targeted late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was found dead at an exclusive Texas hunting ranch in 2016.

According to an audio recording of Tim Blixseth, whose ex-wife worked with Montgomery at Blxware LLC of Bellevue, Washington, “the Hammer” was used to wiretap Donald Trump “a zillion times.”

A leaked CIA Information Operations Center document published in March 2017 WikiLeaks “Vault 7” dump identifies a CIA hacking tool called HAMR. A computer expert who worked for the military and a major government agency involved in defense who reviewed the leaked CIA document believes that the “Hammer” and “HAMR” refer to the same surveillance system.

“Montgomery laid out how persons like then-businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration. He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, illegal tampering that helped Obama win the White House.”

Montgomery told Rep. Devin Nunez, R-Calif., that he had the proof of wiretapping on Trump Tower. Nunez did nothing, according to Montgomery.

Montgomery states that Trump was wiretapped for years because, he alleges, the CIA feared Trump.

HAMR can “throw” browser exploits at iOS, Android, OSX and Linux hacking targets, according to the CIA Information Operations Center document. HAMR sends specified plugins from a collection of iOS plugins called “Wild Turkey” to targeted devices and installs (implants) them for surveillance operations.

HAMR appears to be a massive supercomputer system that was used to listen to phone calls not by tapping into telecommunication carrier switching stations and fiber optic cables, but instead by deploying or “throwing” malicious plugins at targeted computers and smartphones to collect the intercepts and then send the data back to the master supercomputer framework.

General Thomas McInerney, USAF (Ret.) called the situation revealed by Montgomery “worse than Watergate.” Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer, US Army Reserve (Ret.) on Fox Business also described surveillance against Trump as “worse than Watergate.” Likewise, USA Today published an opinion piece referring to President Obama’s surveillance scandal as “worse than Watergate” and which also suggested that former Obama officials could face criminal prosecution

GE to pay $1.5 billion U.S. civil fine over subprime mortgages

(Reuters) - General Electric Co will pay a $1.5 billion civil fine to resolve a long-running U.S. investigation into defective subprime mortgages offered by its former WMC Mortgage unit prior to the 2008 global financial crisis.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday said the accord resolves claims that GE concealed the poor quality of the loans and WMC’s lax fraud controls when packaging the loans into residential mortgage-backed securities sold to investors.

WMC was acquired by GE’s finance unit General Electric Capital Corp in 2004, and originated more than $65 billion of mortgage loans in the next three years.

GE had in January announced an agreement in principle for Friday’s settlement, and had previously set aside $1.5 billion for the accord. The Boston-based company did not admit wrongdoing in agreeing to settle.

“This is another step in our ongoing efforts to de-risk GE Capital,” GE said in a statement. “This agreement represents a significant part of the total legacy exposure associated with WMC and we are pleased to put this matter behind us.”

Ex-Muslim: “Swedes will lose Sweden in 50 years”

Mona Walter is a Somali woman who came to Sweden in the 90’s. In Somalia, she had never been religious, but in Sweden she was more or less forced to go to the mosque and wear a hijab.

After a couple of years she rebelled, left Islam and became an atheist. Eventually she came to believe in Jesus and converted to Christianity.

“For many years I have tried to get the Swedes to understand what the Muslim goal is – to take over your country. The first thing they will do is demand sharia courts, just like in the UK”, she says.

But the mainstream media does not want to listen to Mona Walter. They call her controversial and most Swedes turn away from her message, which they perceive as too frightening, according to the news blog Ingrid and Maria.

“Swedes are so convinced that Swedish laws will always apply in their country. But ask any Englishman if he 30 years ago would have believed that Britain would have legal sharia courts in 2019. No one would have thought it possible.”

New Jersey gives law students taxpayer money to represent illegal immigrants

Law school clinics at Seton Hall University and Rutgers University have each received $125,000 in taxpayer money for their students to represent illegal immigrants in court. The $250,000 in funds come from a larger grant from the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, totaling $2.1 million, which will fund legal representation for New Jersey residents with immigration-related troubles, according to a news release. This money could be better spent helping poor citizens with legal troubles as opposed to noncitizens who are illegally in the country. Taxpayers are funding the aid of those who are actively breaking the law.

A Rutgers Law announcement about the program said the “funding from the Governor is an important step in ensuring that all of New Jersey’s detained immigrants get the representation they deserve. We hope this is only the beginning.” Students can also receive class credit for doing pro bono work for detained immigrants facing deportation or seeking asylum.

Hans von Spakovsky, a legal expert at the Heritage Foundation, criticized New Jersey’s priorities. “There are poor citizens in the state of New Jersey who can not afford legal representation in all kinds of everyday matters, from criminal cases to housing disputes, to child welfare issues,” he told Campus Reform. “Given the limited amount of money that the state provides, you would think that their number one priority ought to be helping citizens before they help illegal aliens.”

Notable: Georgetown University students vote to increase their tuition to pay slavery reparations

Georgetown University students vote to increase their tuition to pay slavery reparations

Georgetown University students overwhelmingly voted to increase their tuition to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves once owned by the school. The move comes as reparations are increasingly being discussed on the campaign trail for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The Georgetown University Student Association held the referendum this week, with students supporting the measure by a two-to-one margin. The fee would increase tuition at the nation's oldest Catholic university by nearly $28 per semester for every student. The money would go into a fund for descendants of the 272 slaves the Jesuits sold in 1838 to keep the deeply indebted university open. The vote is not binding, however. University leadership will make the final decision on whether to implement a mandatory fee for reparations.

"There are many approaches that enable our community to respond to the legacies of slavery," Todd Olson, vice president for student affairs, said in a statement. "This student referendum provides valuable insight into student perspectives and will help guide our continued engagement with students, faculty and staff, members of the Descendant community, and the Society of Jesus." Reparations have become a topic of debate in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. At least four White House hopefuls — Obama-era housing secretary Julián Castro, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke — support payments to descendants of slaves. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has ripped into his opponents for not doing enough to make reparations a reality. Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders disagrees with the idea, however, saying that he would rather focus on the economic inequality that puts African Americans at a disadvantage.

Chevron to buy Anadarko for $33 billion in shale, LNG push

(big deal for the dollar amount)

(Reuters) - Chevron Corp on Friday said it will buy Anadarko Petroleum Corp for $33 billion in cash and stock as the company doubles down on its bet on U.S. shale oil and gas production, where the surge in output has made the United States the world’s largest energy producer.

With oil prices surging this year, Chevron and larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp have been increasing investment in the Permian basin in West Texas, the most prolific shale oil field in the country.

Their efforts coincide with a pullback by the smaller companies that revolutionized the industry through shale drilling, who have had to curtail spending due to investor dissatisfaction with weak returns.

The deal is the oil industry’s largest since Royal Dutch Shell bought BG Group in 2016, and it sparked speculation that other shale producers are in play. Shares of Apache Corp, which also has extensive acreage in the Permian Basin, jumped 7 percent in premarket trading, while Pioneer Natural Resources Co rose 6 percent.

ADD to the list:

Rod Rosenstein: “He’s (AG Barr) being as forthcoming as he can, and so this notion that he’s trying to mislead people, I think is just completely BIZARRE!” ⁦

Outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday defended Attorney General William Barr against allegations that he is misleading Congress and the public about the special counsel’s Russia report.

“He’s being as forthcoming as he can, and so this notion that he’s trying to mislead people, I think is just completely bizarre,” Rosenstein said in a rare interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Democrats have accused Barr of releasing misleading information about special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings from his 22-month investigation, which focused on possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as whether President Trump tried to obstruct the probe.

Barr sent a letter to Congress on March 24 saying that Mueller was unable to establish that collusion occurred. On the obstruction matter, Barr said that Mueller declined to make a decision one way or the other on whether to recommend a case against Trump.

Barr said that he conferred with Rosenstein and Justice Department lawyers and decided against pursuing a case. Barr said that since there was no allegation of conspiracy, Trump had no underlying crime to conceal by obstruction. (RELATED: Barr: ‘I Think Spying Did Occur’ On The Trump Campaign)

Democrats heightened their criticism last week after The New York Times reported that members of Mueller’s team were frustrated that Barr had misrepresented Mueller’s findings. The anonymous sources claimed that there was a stronger case to be made on obstruction than Barr’s letter let on.

But Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special counsel on May 17, 2017 and oversaw the probe, said that Barr revealed as much information as he could. He also defended the review process taking place ahead of the release of the report. Barr said on Tuesday that he expects to give a redacted version of Mueller’s report to Congress “within a week.”

The Justice Department, in coordination with Mueller’s team, is reviewing the report to decide which grand jury and classified information to redact.

“It would be one thing if you put out a letter and said, ‘I’m not going to give you the report,'” Rosenstein told The Journal.

“What he said is, ‘Look, it’s going to take a while to process the report. In the meantime, people really want to know what’s in it. I’m going to give you the top-line conclusions.’ That’s all he was trying to do.”

lhan Omar pushes for release of jailed Muslim Brotherhood leader

Rep. Ilhan Omar — whose short tenure in Congress thus far has been rife with controversy — made a shocking appeal Tuesday, openly pushing for the release of a senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB).

Omar took to Twitter Tuesday evening demanding that “Trump” call for the release of Hoda Abdelmonem, a senior member in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s women’s affiliate.

I quickly confirmed that this was the same Abdelmonem who has for years been a member of the MB, which advocates for Islamist takeover of Egypt.

Abdelmonem remains an influential figure and a senior leader in the Islamist outfit, and the campaign for her release has been a top priority item for Muslim Brotherhood-aligned individuals, groups, and governments. Muslim Brotherhood-tied media networks such as Middle East Eye, Middle East Monitor, and Al Jazeera have dedicated nonstop coverage to this issue, often falsely portraying the Islamist activist as a human rights advocate. Muslim Brotherhood-tied campaigners in the U.S. have continued a full-court press for Abdelmonem’s release.

Additionally, these same entities all remain fiercely opposed to the rule of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who in 2013 ousted Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated former president in Cairo. So convincing the president to call for the release of their Islamist ally would arguably chip away at el-Sisi’s legitimacy.

After posting a photo of her meeting with pro-Muslim Brotherhood campaigners, Omar then doubled down on her push, retweeting this post linking to an Al Jazeera video that calls for Abdelmonem’s release:

Al Jazeera is the state-controlled, Islamistpromoting media network of the Qatari government, which uses slave labor and funds terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East. Al Jazeera regularly promotes Muslim Brotherhood leaders and groups, which seek to overthrow stable U.S. allies and install Islamist theocracies in their stead.

Since entering Congress, Rep. Omar has continued to show a preference for antagonistic U.S. adversaries and throwback Islamist leaders and groups, as opposed to U.S.-friendly Middle East nations and peaceful reform movements worldwide. She has become a regular on the CAIR speaking circuit. The terror-tied Islamist group raised mountains of cash for her congressional campaign.

The Muslim Brotherhood is classified as a terrorist organization in several nations, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Russia, Egypt, and Bahrain. The group has spawned the likes of deceased Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. Republicans in Congress continue to push legislation and directly appeal to President Trump to classify the MB as a foreign terrorist organization, given its tendency for violence and the group’s extremist, anti-American philosophy.

IG Report confirms Obama lied about Hillary's emails

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

One aspect of the Inspector Generals’ report on the FBI handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation has been a bit overshadowed by the media. The fact that President Barack Obama lied to the American people when he claimed he only learned of Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized, non-secure, non-governmental email server while she was Secretary of State.

In March 2015, when the Clinton email scandal was first breaking, CBS White House correspondent Bill Plante asked Obama about his knowledge of the matter:

Plante: Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. government for official business while she was secretary of state?

Obama: The same time everybody else learned it through news reports.

But, that’s just not so.

Sean Davis, at The Federalist, saw the footnotes showing Obama’s involvement. “FBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that former President Barack Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account,” the report says in a footnote on page 89. “Obama, like other high level government officials, used a pseudonym for his username on his official government email account.”

I interviewed Davis about this item on WMAL in Washington yesterday:

“Yeah, and that’s something we suspected for a while but I believe this is the first time it was confirmed. According to the Inspector General, Obama was one of thirteen individuals with whom Clinton emailed directly and in fact she even emailed him directly, according to the report, from the territory of a foreign adversary. And this is important because Obama had previously claimed that like everything else he learned as President, he first learned about Hillary’s secret private email from the pages of the newspapers. We know that’s not true now. In fact, it’s almost certainly a lie and it gives us some insight into why there was actually never any charges against her, because there is no way the FBI and DOJ could have gone after her for misuse or mishandling of classified info, if in fact the President was doing the exact same thing at the same time. So it’s a pretty earth shattering bombshell in that report as far as I’m concerned. “

Why is this important?

Andrew McCarthy at National Review noted early this year that Obama’s knowledge and culpability in the Clinton email scheme was a key motivating factor in James Comey’s decision to exonerate Clinton:

If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges.

That is why such an indictment of Hillary Clinton was never going to happen. The latest jaw-dropping disclosures of text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, illustrate this point.

Revealed: Two decades before college admissions scandal, the Clintons tried to game the system for Chelsea's boyfriend

Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to bully a prestigious scholarship program into selecting Chelsea Clinton’s then-boyfriend and then sought "payback" when they were resisted, according to a former top foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama. The episode took place nearly 19 years ago but has fresh resonance after revelations last month of multimillion-dollar bribes paid by parents to get their children into elite colleges, including Stanford University, which Chelsea Clinton and her then-boyfriend Jeremy Kane attended. Among those recently implicated was Michelle Obama's former tennis coach.

Trina Vargo, a veteran U.S. adviser on Ireland, founded the George J. Mitchell Scholarship in 2000. It was named after the former senator who brokered the talks that led to the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement. Vargo said that Bill Clinton intervened in the first year of the scholarship, when Kane, whose 3.19 grade-point average was much weaker than those of the top candidates, had failed to make the final selection round. President Clinton, who was in his last weeks in the White House, called Mitchell to express his displeasure, according to Vargo in her new book Shenanigans: The U.S.-Ireland Relationship in Uncertain Times. He had submitted a letter of recommendation for Kane, who had already landed an internship in the Clinton White House during his relationship with Chelsea. Kane worked in the White House speechwriting office from June to September 2000, arriving some 18 months after Clinton had been impeached over this affair with another White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.

Vargo told the Washington Examiner that the timing of Clinton’s call, which came while the program was choosing its 12 scholarship awardees from a group of 20 finalists, was a blatant attempt to game the selection process. “There’s no way to see that as anything other than an attempt to influence a situation that hadn’t been finalized yet,” she said. “In light of the college admissions scandal, I don’t think it’s very unusual for people who have money or influence to use what means they have, whether it’s for their children or friends." While no money was involved in the Clintons' attempt to procure a scholarship for Kane, by bowing to their wishes Vargo and her program would have been well-placed to benefit in future years from the largesse of the former first couple and their influential network of Irish American fundraisers.

Bill Clinton's press secretary, Angel Urena, called accusations of nepotism "baseless and patently false." The son of a Presbyterian minister and a tennis coach, Kane was at Stanford on a swimming scholarship. He attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention with the Clintons in Los Angeles. After failing to get a Mitchell Scholarship, he landed a job as a speechwriter for Sen. John Kerry.

Google loses diversity chief amid unrest over workplace issues

Danielle Brown will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company’s head of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Google diversity chief Danielle Brown on Thursday said she's leaving the search giant, as the company has dealt with several uprisings from employees over the last year related to workplace culture. She will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company's head of diversity, equity and inclusion. Brown, who spent almost two years at the company, said in a LinkedIn post that she's headed to Gusto, a payroll and benefits startup based in Denver and San Francisco.

In her announcement, Brown doesn't mention Google by name, but said she wanted to explore working on diversity issues at places other than the "biggest tech companies in the world." "What if, in addition to trying to solve for employee engagement and inclusion within the biggest tech companies in the world, we tried to solve those critical needs for every local storefront, every new startup just getting off the ground, or every doctor's office across our communities?" she wrote. Brown didn't respond to a request for additional comment.

Google confirmed her departure. "We're grateful to Danielle for her excellent work over the past two years to improve representation in Google's workforce and ensure an inclusive culture for everyone," Eileen Naughton, Google's head of people operations, said in a statement. "We wish her all the best in her new role at Gusto." Brown's leaving comes a little more than a week after she and Parker released Google's annual diversity numbers. They acknowledged they'd only made "incremental progress." In 2018, women constituted 32.2% of new hires, up a bit from 31.3% the year before. The company also hired more black and Latino workers, though the gains were less dramatic. Black hires were up to 4.8% from 4.1%, and Latino hires were up to 6.8% from 6.3%.

Google has also faced intense scrutiny from its employees over its workplace conditions. In November, roughly 20,000 Googlers walked out of the company's offices worldwide to protest its handling of sexual assault allegations directed at key executives. One of the demands of the protest was to elevate Brown to report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai, rather than Naughton, to demonstrate Google's commitment to diversity. Google didn't capitulate to that demand.

More recently, more than 2,000 Googlers earlier this month signed a petition to remove a member of the company's newly formed council on artificial intelligence ethics for alleged anti-trans and anti-immigrant views. The board was disbanded after only a week, in response to the outcry. A day after the AI ethics board petition, 900 workers also reportedly signed a different letter demanding better treatment of Google's extended workforce, commonly known at the company as TVCs – temps, vendors and contractors. In response, Google said it'd require temp companies to provide its workers with full benefits, including health care, a $15 minimum wage and paid parental leave.

New British passports no longer say “European Union”

British passports that no longer say “European Union” began to be distributed on the 30th of March.

This change was announced by the Home Affairs Minister on Saturday. The new passports have been handed out despite the fact that the final details of Brexit have not yet been set in stone. The initial date set was the 29th of March.

The minister was questioned by a British citizen over Twitter on Friday. The citizen concerned said they were “really appalled” at their new passport cover.

“We are still in the EU. Why doesn’t my new passport reflect that?” asked Susan Hindle Barone.

“Bordeaux-coloured passports that don’t say European Union were distributed on the 30th of March”, a Home Affairs minister’s spokesperson said in a press release.

“Passports that still say European Union will continue to be handed out during a short period after this date so we can shift the remaining stock”, the spokesperson continued. The spokesman added “that both models are as valid as each other when it comes to travelling”.

The United Kingdom was initially supposed to leave the European Union on the 29th or March, exactly two years after activating article 50 of the Lisbon treaty. Article 50 is the one that takes a member state out the Union.

Bank for International Settlements Leads the Basel III Revolution

Basel 3: A Revolution That Once Again No One Noticed

Real revolutions are taking place not on squares, but in the quiet of offices, and that’s why nobody noticed the world revolution that took place on March 29th 2019. Only a small wave passed across the periphery of the information field, and the momentum faded away because the situation was described in terms unclear to the masses.

No “Freedom, equality, brotherhood”, “Motherland or death”, or “Power to Councils, peace to the people, bread to the hungry, factories to the worker, and land to the farmers” – none of these masterpieces of world populism were used. And that’s why what happened was understood in Russia by only a few people. And they made such comments that the masses either did not fully listen to them or did not read up to the end. Or they did listen to the end, but didn’t understand anything.

But they should’ve, because the world changed so cardinally that it is indeed time for Nathan Rothschild, having crumpled a hat in his hand, to climb onto an armoured Rolls-Royce [a joke referencing what Lenin did – ed], and to shout from on top of it to all the Universe: “Comrades! The world revolution, the need for which revolutionaries spoke about for a long time, came true!” [paraphrasing what Lenin said – ed] And he would be completely right. It’s just that the results of the revolution will be implemented slowly, and that’s why they are imperceptible for the population. But the effects, nevertheless, will be soon seen by absolutely everyone, up to the last cook who even doesn’t seek to learn to govern the state soon.

This revolution is called “Basel III”, and it was made by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Its essence is in the following: BIS runs the IMF, and this, in turn, runs the central banks of all countries. The body of such control is called BCBS – the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. It isn’t just some worthless US State Department or Congress of American senators. It’s not a stupid Pentagon, a little Department of the Treasury, which runs around like the CIA’s servant on standby, or a house of collective farmers with the name “White House”.

This isn’t even the banks of the US Federal Reserve, which govern all of this “wealth”. This is a Government of all of them combined. That real world Government that people in the world try not to speak about aloud.

BCBS is the Politburo of the world, whose Secretary General, according to rumours, is comrade Baruch, and the underground structure of the Central Committee is even more secret. It has many euphemisms, the most adequate of which is “Zurich gnomes”. This is what Swiss bankers are called. Not even owners of commercial banks, but namely those ordinary-looking men sitting in the Swiss city of Basel who Hitler – who tried to attach the whole world to the Third Reich, and who preserved neutrality with Switzerland during all the war – didn’t dare to attack. And, as is known, in Switzerland, besides Swiss rifleman, in reality there isn’t even an army. So who was the frenzied Fuhrer afraid of?

Notable: France Blocks E.U. from Condemning Libyan Warlord’s Invasion of Tripoli

Report: France Blocks E.U. from Condemning Libyan Warlord’s Invasion of Tripoli

France, which owns oil assets in Libya, reportedly sidelined a European Union statement this week calling on the Paris and Moscow-backed Libyan strongman Gen. Khalifa Haftar to halt his eastern army’s offensive against forces loyal to the North African country’s internationally recognized government in Tripoli.

On Thursday, Reuters revealed: An EU draft statement on Wednesday said Haftar’s attack on Tripoli put civilians at risk, disrupted normalization efforts and risked an escalation with serious consequences for Libya and the wider region. That statement was sidelined by France. French diplomatic sources said Paris did not object to calls on Haftar to halt his advance, but rather had only requested amendments including mentions of the plight of migrants in Libya and the presence in anti-Haftar forces of Islamist militants designated as terrorists by the United Nations.

On April 4, Haftar — who has seized control of most of Libya with the support of France, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — launched an operation to seize Tripoli from troops fighting on behalf of the U.N.-brokered Government of National Accord (GNA) led by Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj. In the wake of the fighting, the U.S. military, which is in Libya to combat jihadi groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), “temporarily” pulled its troops out of Libya. Barring France, most Western countries, including the United States, have called on Haftar and his Libyan National Army (LNA) to stop the offensive. Haftar has surfaced as the leader of a breakaway government based in eastern Libya’s Tobruk region, placing him on a collision course with the Serraj administration headquartered in Tripoli.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the fighting between the two sides has already killed at least 56 people and wounded 266 others. Clashes have also pushed about 8,000 others out of their homes in Tripoli. The U.S.- and France-backed overthrow and subsequent execution of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 has plunged Libya into chaos, with the two rival governments vying for power while jihadi groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) use the oil-rich North African country as a safe haven. France’s opposition to the E.U. statement calling on Haftar to stop his Tripoli offensive has pinned the country against Italy, Libya’s former colonial ruler that backs the Serraj faction.

“In Rome, Libya’s former colonial ruler Italy warned France, which has good relations with Haftar, to refrain from supporting any one faction after diplomats said Paris had scuttled a European Union statement calling on him to halt his offensive,” Reuters noted. Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini rebuked France for its opposition to the EU statement against Haftar.

In an interview with Italy’s Radio RTL 102.5, Salvini declared, “It would be very serious if France for economic or commercial reasons had blocked an EU initiative to bring peace to Libya and would support a party that is fighting. As minister of the interior, I will not stand by and watch.” Salvini suggested France’s refusal to rescind its support for Haftar stems from Paris’ economic interests in Libya. “Some think that the [2011 NATO-led military intervention] in Libya promoted by [then-French President Nicolas] Sarkozy was triggered more by economic and commercial interests than by humanitarian concerns,” he said. “I hope we are not seeing the same film all over again.”

Haftar has rejected U.N. pressure to accept a power-sharing agreement with Serraj to stabilize Libya, “using his leverage as a Western ally against militant Islam in North Africa,” Reuters noted. However, France 24 reported this week, “While Haftar has sold himself to the West as an anti-Islamist fighter, experts say he has close links to a branch of Salafists called Madkhalists.”

Rod Rosenstein Defends Attorney General’s Handling Of Mueller Report

7:28 PM 04/11/2019 | US

Chuck Ross | Reporter

https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/11/rod-rosenstein-defends-william-barr/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true

Outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday defended Attorney General William Barr against allegations that he is misleading Congress and the public about the special counsel’s Russia report.

“He’s being as forthcoming as he can, and so this notion that he’s trying to mislead people, I think is just completely bizarre,” Rosenstein said in a rare interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Democrats have accused Barr of releasing misleading information about special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings from his 22-month investigation, which focused on possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as whether President Trump tried to obstruct the probe.

Barr sent a letter to Congress on March 24 saying that Mueller was unable to establish that collusion occurred. On the obstruction matter, Barr said that Mueller declined to make a decision one way or the other on whether to recommend a case against Trump.

Barr said that he conferred with Rosenstein and Justice Department lawyers and decided against pursuing a case. Barr said that since there was no allegation of conspiracy, Trump had no underlying crime to conceal by obstruction. (RELATED: Barr: ‘I Think Spying Did Occur’ On The Trump Campaign)

Democrats heightened their criticism last week after The New York Times reported that members of Mueller’s team were frustrated that Barr had misrepresented Mueller’s findings. The anonymous sources claimed that there was a stronger case to be made on obstruction than Barr’s letter let on.

But Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special counsel on May 17, 2017 and oversaw the probe, said that Barr revealed as much information as he could. He also defended the review process taking place ahead of the release of the report. Barr said on Tuesday that he expects to give a redacted version of Mueller’s report to Congress “within a week.”

The Justice Department, in coordination with Mueller’s team, is reviewing the report to decide which grand jury and classified information to redact.

“It would be one thing if you put out a letter and said, ‘I’m not going to give you the report,'” Rosenstein told The Journal.

“What he said is, ‘Look, it’s going to take a while to process the report. In the meantime, people really want to know what’s in it. I’m going to give you the top-line conclusions.’ That’s all he was trying to do.”

Confidential Memo: Secretive Liberal Donor Club Plots $275 Million Spending Plan for 2020

Democracy Alliance has steered $1.83 billion to progressive infrastructure since 2005

A secretive group of top liberal donors has budgeted $275 million to be injected into progressive infrastructure leading up to the 2020 elections, confidential documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.

The Democracy Alliance, which has been pivotal in helping bankroll left-wing causes and organizations since its founding in 2005, held its annual Spring conference at the ritzy Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas, last week. Members and liberal groups mapped out their goals of expanding and strengthening the progressive political base, building and supporting progressive governance at every level, and restoring and expanding structural power.

The gatherings, which typically feature prominent Democratic politicians, are not publicly announced in advance, feature tight security, and are billed as a "safe place for its progressive funders." Members of the alliance, who are called "partners," are prohibited from talking to media, told to "refrain from leaving sensitive materials in public spaces," and to dispose of unwanted materials in "specially-identified recycling bins."

The Free Beacon was on site for the alliance's spring gathering and obtained a number of private and confidential documents from the group, including its agenda for the conference, its "Vision for a Progressive America," and its upcoming "Investments Strategy and Recommendations."

Gara LaMarche, who was previously the vice president and director of U.S. Programs at George Soros's Open Society Foundations, leads the Alliance, which counts Soros as a member and consists of more than 100 millionaire and billionaire donors who each pledge at least $200,000 annually to organizations that are recommended by the club. Its full list of members is unknown due to the group's secrecy.

According to confidential documents distributed to its members in Austin, the Democracy Alliance’s partners have infused $1.83 billion into the left since its inception.

heresa May is facing demands from her own MPs to stand down immediately after senior backbenchers told her she is now “the problem”.

A delegation of executives from the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers met Mrs May in Downing Street on Monday and said the mood among party supporters had turned against her over the weekend.

Mrs May sat in stony silence and refused to discuss her future as the MPs made clear the “damage” she is causing the party, sources said.

The meeting will draw comparisons with the final days of Margaret Thatcher's reign when she was visited by "the men in grey suits" and prevailed upon to resign for the good of the party.

Egypt pulls out of anti-Iran alliance envisioned by US, allies: Reuters

Egypt has reportedly turned its back on a US-led initiative to establish a NATO-style alliance of Arab countries primarily aimed at countering Iran out of concerns that such a coalition could increase tensions with the Islamic Republic, among other reasons.

Four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday that Cairo had informed the US and the members of what is to be called the Middle East Strategic Alliance (MESA) of the withdrawal plan ahead of their Sunday’s meeting in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

One of the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Egypt had not sent a delegation to the Riyadh event.

An Arab source stressed that Egypt had pulled out of the so-called “Arab NATO" because of its doubts about the seriousness of the proposal as well as the danger that such an Arab front would increase tensions with Tehran.

Other reasons were uncertainty about whether US President Donald Trump will win a second term in 2020 and whether his successor may scrap the initiative to form an anti-Iran alliance, the Arab source added.

Reuters described Cairo’s move as a blow to the Trump administration’s anti-Iran strategy.

A Saudi source also confirmed problems with the plan, saying, “It’s not moving well.”

Meanwhile, two other sources emphasized that the remaining MESA members were moving ahead with the initiative and would press Egypt diplomatically to revoke its withdrawal from the anti-Iran group.

“We all want them back,” said one of the sources.

The Arab source, however, noted that Egypt could not be convinced to return to the so-called “Arab NATO,” which is comprised of Jordan and six Persian Gulf Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.

Egyptian officials have not yet commented on the report.

Notable: Anon analysis on POTUS tweets and Q Post deltas

I found an error in my data analysis for a post that made notables, so I feel it's important to draw attention to the error. Last month, I analyzed delta statistics - after each Q post, how many minutes until the next Trump tweet. The final product was a scatterplot showing the frequency of deltas between 0-20 minutes, it was clear that zero-delta was unusually common (expected, but the graph made it easy to see)

>>5496921 (pb)

Unfortuately my analysis was incorrect, due to some bad data from a misunderstanding about how times were represented in the data. I've corrected my error, and also making these changes:

* Including all Q posts from qanon.pub (early posts without tripcode or Q name were not in the original) through Q3312

* Changing the question slightly - "how many minutes until the next Trump tweet" created a shadowing effect (Q posts contributing to bucket n were excluded from n+1, n+2 etc) which could create a slope due to smaller sample size at increasing offsets, so I'm asking a different question that under the null hypothesis of no correlation shouldn't produce a slope: For each offset of n minutes, how many times do we find a Q post and Trump tweet separated by n minutes?

* Extending the graph to 60 minutes, and also looking at negative deltas (Trump first) since there was interest in that direction

Method: For Q from qanon.pub in Javascript console

for (var x in posts) if (posts.hasOwnProperty(x)) console.log(posts[x].timestamp);

… then copied results off console to text file (times appear to be Unix timestamps)

For Trump: http://trumptwitterarchive.com/archive "search through all of Trump's tweets", set a date range including all Q posts, export CSV, copy-and-paste results to text file (times appear to be GMT)

Both websites seem to display times in EST *year-round* (UTC-5 even during summer, when EDT is UTC-4) regardless of the user's timezone, whether DST is in effect, or whether DST was in effect on the displayed calendar date. (I ran tests as we crossed into DST to see how the websites rendered times.) Trump archive shows clock times in both HTML and CSV, but different time zones in each format (EST/GMT)

I converted Trump times to Unix timestamps. Then for all Q posts, for all Trump tweets, I calculated delta in minutes = floor((Trump - Q) / 60), and incremented a count bin. With "floor" the zero bin has only positive deltas, negative values like -0.3 go into bin -1. (Examples: #-2 bin = -2 to -1 min, #-1 = -1 to -0, #0 = +0 to +1, #1 = +1 to +2) Positive means Trump posted after Q (the direction of interest, since a LARP could choose to post after Trump but could not anticipate when Trump will tweet)

Due to the low sample sizes (e.g. zero delta had 28 events), I repeated the analysis with 5-minute bins to even out statistical noise, and pool together deltas from 0 to 299 seconds into a single bin (from Q's phrasing some intended small-delta events may have been over 60 seconds.) Limiting to +/- 1 hour due to time of day effect slope: since Trump often tweets in the day while Q often posts late, big offsets skew towards Trump first (negative delta)

Results:

* With 1-minute bins, zero delta (0-59 second deltas) is high (28) but only near 90th percentile with more complete and accurate data, and a wider view (6 higher counts: 29 at 2,4,13,15 min; 31 at 49,55 min)

* With 5-minute bins, zero bin (0-299 second deltas) had 127 counts, higher than following bins. You have to go out to the 15th bin (75-80 minute delta) before finding a higher count

I noticed something odd, anyone have ideas? In the graph of 5-minute bins showing both positive/negative deltas, there's an abrupt change at zero – setting aside the zero bin itself (Trump posts 0-5 minutes after Q), negative deltas have consistently higher counts than positive deltas. Going out one hour (+/- 12 bins), negative bins (Trump posts first) have counts 117-157, while positive bins (Q posts first, in at least bin 1, meaning 5+ minute delta) are in the range 80-111. Not time of day effect - change is abrupt, not a slope. In plain language, it sounds like Trump is LESS likely to post in the hour after Q has posted, EXCEPT during the first 5 minutes. What does this mean? Is POTUS going quiet because he's busy reading the replies to Q on 8chan? Who knows?

For anyone inclined to see that as a LARP signal (pro-Q hypothesis is elevated rate of Trump posting after Q) this drop-off is not immediate, the "zero bin" looks similar to the negative values to the left. By choosing when to post based on when Trump tweets, a LARP could elevate the count in negative delta bins, but the zero bin itself would look like the other positive offsets, and it doesn't

Conclusion: With better data the signal isn't as perfect as before, but zero delta is near 90th percentile, and signal looks stronger when also considering small deltas under 5 minutes

The WikiLeaks founder was hauled from the Ecuadorian embassy in London by British police on Thursday morning, after nearly seven years of de-facto house arrest. Assange was found guilty of failing to appear at a 2012 bail hearing, and is also facing extradition to the United States on a charge of conspiracy to commit a cybercrime.

Biden letters reveal support of segregationists in busing fight

Former VP rarely talks about early issue

Joe Biden's road to a third presidential bid has been lined with a series of explanations and apologies, illustrating the challenges of preparing a long record of public service for fresh scrutiny under the spotlight of the 2020 campaign. Yet he rarely discusses one of the earliest – and most controversial – issues he championed in the Senate: his fight against busing to desegregate schools. It was more than four decades ago as a battle raged across the country – and in Congress – over sending white students to majority-black schools and black students to majority-white schools often far away from their own neighborhoods. Biden forcefully opposed the government's role in trying to integrate schools, saying he favored desegregation, but believed busing did not achieve equal opportunity.

In a series of never-before-published letters from Biden, which were reviewed by CNN, the strength of his opposition to busing comes into sharper focus, particularly how he followed the lead of – and sought support from – some of the Senate's most fervent segregationists.

"My bill strikes at the heart of the injustice of court-ordered busing. It prohibits the federal courts from disrupting our educational system in the name of the constitution where there is no evidence that the governmental officials intended to discriminate," Biden wrote to fellow senators on March 25, 1977. "I believe there is a growing sentiment in the Congress to curb unnecessary busing."

Biden, who at the time was 34 and serving his first term in the Senate, repeatedly asked for – and received – the support of Sen. James Eastland, a Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary Committee and a leading symbol of Southern resistance to desegregation. Eastland frequently spoke of blacks as "an inferior race." "Dear Mr. Chairman," Biden wrote on June 30, 1977. "I want you to know that I very much appreciate your help during this week's committee meeting in attempting to bring my anti-busing legislation to a vote." Two weeks later, Biden followed up with a note to Eastland "to thank you again for your efforts in support of my bill to limit court ordered busing."

Biden, who would go on to lead the Judiciary Committee a decade later, got his start on the panel under Eastland. Few senators were more virulently outspoken against desegregation than the Mississippi senator, who was known for incendiary floor speeches on race. Yet Biden invited Eastland to speak on the Senate floor in support of his anti-busing bill. "I want to personally ask your continued support and alert you to our intentions," Biden wrote on Aug. 22, 1978. "Your participation in floor debate would be welcomed."

Co-Founder of BDS Movement Denied US Entry Despite Valid Travel Documents

Omar Barghouti, the co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to apply peaceful international pressure on Israel to end its oppression of Palestinians, was denied entry into the United States this week despite having valid travel documents.

Barghouti, who lives in Israel with a permanent residency status, was informed of the development on Wednesday by airline staff at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport. Staffers indicated that the US consulate in Tel Aviv was directed to bar Barghouti from traveling stateside by US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

According to the Arab American Institute (AAI), a Washington-based advocacy group which invited Barghouti to participate in a US speaking tour, the activist "was not provided an explanation for this denial of entry beyond that it was an ‘immigration matter.'"

Barghouti has a valid US visa through January 2021, and he was scheduled to attend various speaking events that included stops in Washington, DC, New York and Massachusetts. At the end of the trip, he intended to attend the wedding of his daughter, who lives in the US.

In a Thursday statement, Barghouti said that the US entry ban was "ideologically and politically motivated," and that it was part of "Israel's escalating repression against Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights defenders in the BDS movement for freedom, justice and equality."

"Israel is not merely continuing its decades-old system of military occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing; it is increasingly outsourcing its outrageous, McCarthyite repression to the US and to xenophobic, far-right cohorts across the world," he said.

"Supporters of Israeli apartheid in the US are desperately trying to deny US lawmakers, media, diverse audiences at universities, a bookstore and a synagogue, their right to listen, first-hand, to a Palestinian human rights advocate calling for ending US complicity in Israel's crimes against our people. But all my talks will go ahead, with me speaking online."

And so he did. For the first event, a "candid conversation" with CNN contributor Peter Beinart, Barghouti participated in the discussion through video conferencing.

Notable: Demand for online sex-trafficking has dropped (Epoch Times)

Demand for online sex-trafficking has dropped as the operators of smaller sites struggle to stay afloat following the shut down of the largest human-trafficking portal in the United States, according to a new report shared with The Epoch Times by a counter-human trafficking technology company.

In April last year, President Donald Trump signed into law the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or SESTA-FOSTA that stopped the shielding of website operators from state criminal charges or civil liability if they facilitate sex ads or prostitution. Just days later, sex-trafficking website Backpage.com, was shut down by the FBI.

The report by Childsafe.AI—the world’s first artificial intelligence platform for monitoring, graphing, and modeling child exploitation risk on the web—details how the twin acts “dramatically changed” the sex-trafficking online marketplace, specifically the distribution layer that served the underground commercial sex economy.

Now, a year later, the report explains how the industry has since been fragmented across dozens of websites, all competing fiercely for market share. No single dominant site emerged in the past year as the popularity of the online economy “remains volatile and shifts quickly.”

One key finding in the report that is prepared for use by law enforcement agencies across the United States, was that web traffic to advertising websites selling sex drew only 5-8 percent of the unique visitors individually as Backpage did at its height in 2016.

The company’s CEO, Rob Spectre, told The Epoch Times in a phone interview that the underground marketplace is now more like the “the wild west” rather than a “high-quality well-groomed advertising, channel.”

“What we are seeing overall is an evident drop in demand… a number of these operators are struggling to continue operating their services,” he said. “There is also a significant influx of scam advertising.”

BAKER

Q linked this before, great for newfags & redpilling…

Part 1 of 2

Connnecting some dots:

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

A Grand Jury had been impaneled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Look who took over this investigation in 2005: None other than James Comey; Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?

But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right? Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005? No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.

What do all four casting characters have in common? They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation. Another coincidence, right?

Fast forward to 2009….

James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server.

The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary.

Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.

Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, America got absolutely nothing out of it.

However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours. Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme. Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame? Yep, He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.

Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? None other than, Rod Rosenstein. And what happened to the informant? The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.

How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?

Very soon after; the sale was approved!~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal. Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, - Lois Lerner. Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015.

Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.

Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary. .

Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None other than James Comey; who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh? Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope…. couldn’t find any crimes there.

Erdogan worked “hand in glove” with ISIS in Syria, claims former emir

‘Islamic State’ terror group liaised directly with Turkish intelligence according to commander

In an explosive interview, a former ISIS commander has claimed that the terror group cooperated directly with Turkish state intelligence agencies for years on areas of “common interest”.

The source said that senior Turkish government officials had numerous meetings with ISIS representatives to coordinate activities and that this also involved providing support and safe harbour to foreign fighters in the country. President Erdogan “was working hand in glove with ISIS” according to the US government counter-terrorism consultants who interviewed the ex-ISIS official.

The relationship raises questions about Turkey’s role as a NATO ally in the Syria conflict.

The source, who served as an ISIS emir for three years, Abu Mansour al Maghrebi, was interviewed by Professor Anne Speckhard, director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) and a long-time US government counter-terrorism consultant for NATO, the CIA, FBI, State Department and Pentagon, as well as by Dr Ardian Shajkovci, the ICSVE’s director of research.

Although not all of al-Maghrebi’s claims can be verified, most of them are corroborated by the claims of other whistleblowers and former ISIS personnel as previously reported by INSURGE.

Speckhard and Shakovci described Abu Mansour as a sort of ISIS diplomat to Turkey based in Raqqa, Syria.

“My issue[duties] was our [Islamic State’s] relationship with Turkish intelligence. Actually, this started when I was working at the borders,” he explained.

Originally from Morocco, Abu Mansour was an electrical engineer who went to Syria in 2013 to join ISIS. His first job with the terror group involved handling foreign fighters coming to join ISIS via Turkey. This involved liaising with a network of ISIS-paid operatives inside Turkey who would direct fighters from Istanbul to the Turkish border towns of Gaziantep, Antakya, Sanliurfa, and so on.

“Most of them were paid by Dawlah[ISIS],” Abu Mansour said, but said that those working in Turkey were usually motivated by money rather than ideology. But he acknowledged: “Many in Turkey believe and give their bayat [oath of allegiance] to Dawlah. There are ISIS guys living in Turkey, individuals and groups, but no armed groups inside Turkey.”

BoE's Carney says UK needs time to find Brexit consensus

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - British politicians could now take some time to find a way forward on Brexit, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said on Thursday, after Prime Minister Theresa May agreed a delay of up to six months before leaving the European Union.

May, under pressure from her Conservative Party, wants to find a way to leave the EU as soon as possible after losing three votes in parliament on her preferred exit plan and missing a long-planned departure date of March 29.

Britain had been at risk of a sudden, chaotic Brexit at 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) on Friday if EU leaders meeting in Brussels had not approved early on Thursday a delay until Oct. 31.

Carney, in Washington for the spring meetings of central bankers and finance ministers at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, welcomed the reduced risk of a chaotic no-deal Brexit, and said there was now a “window of time” to forge consensus.

“Right up until yesterday it could be argued that the UK had run out of time to forge that consensus. There are cross-party talks to try to find that, and that may take some time,” he added.

On Tuesday, the IMF cut its 2019 growth forecast for Britain to 1.2 percent, bringing it in line with the BoE’s own outlook and pointing to the weakest outturn since the world’s fifth-largest economy was last in recession in 2009.

Carney said business uncertainty had been pushed “through the roof” by the prospect Britain could leave the EU without any temporary agreement to ensure exports did not suffer border delays or tariffs.

Much-needed investment had been put on hold since Britain voted to leave the EU in June 2016, damaging productivity and storing up economic problems for the future, he added.

Carney spent thirteen years with Goldman Sachs. He worked in their Boston, London, New York City, Tokyo, and Toronto offices.

His progressively more senior positions included: co-head of sovereign risk; executive director, emerging debt capital markets; and managing director, investment banking. He worked on South Africa's post-apartheid venture into international bond markets, and was involved in Goldman's work with the 1998 Russian financial crisis.

In 2003, he left Goldman Sachs to join the Bank of Canada as a Deputy Governor, taking up that position. One year later, he was recruited to join the Federal Department of Finance as Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance, beginning that role on November 15, 2004.

US Lawmakers Say Assange Should Be Held Responsible for Election Meddling

Several US lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle in separate statements on Thursday said WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange must be held accountable for allegedly working with Russia to interfere in American elections.

"Now that Julian Assange has been arrested, I hope he will soon be held to account for his meddling in our elections on behalf of… the Russian government", US Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said via Twitter. US Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, a Republican, expressed in a press release on Thursday that Assange must face justice for working as part of the Russian intelligence services and conspiring to steal classified information.

Senator Bob Menendez, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that he hopes the US justice system holds Assange "to account for his crimes". Senate Vice Chairman on the Intelligence Committee Mark Warner said in a separate press release that the British courts must quickly extradite Assange to the United States so he can "finally get the justice he deserves", Warner also claimed Assange worked with Russia to help undermine the West and US security.

Republican Senator Lyndsey Graham, Congressman Eliot Engel and several other lawmakers made similar comments throughout the day. Assange was arrested in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London earlier. The UK police confirmed that the arrest had been made "on behalf of the United States authorities". Ecuador had withdrawn asylum it had earlier granted Assange. US authorities indicted Assange in connection with a federal charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, the Justice Department said in a statement on Thursday.

The computer intrusion charge carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. However, experts and former intelligence officials have said the United States could bring additional charges against Assange.

THEY’RE BACK! Clinton tour resumes tonight as tickets resell for 1/3 of face value

Bill and Hillary’s “An Evening With The Clintons” will reopen Thursday at the Beacon Theatre in New York, and there’s still plenty of seats available at the standard admission price of $99.

A front row seat is selling for $431.45, plus fees.

Thursday’s comeback show follows several months off the campaign trail for the duo, who were stealing the spotlight from Democrats during the 2018 midterms before taking a sabbatical from their road show in December.

Former President George H.W. Bush’s death in December served as the perfect excuse to take time off as the tour struggled to fill seats, despite some tickets going for a mere $7 on StubHub, Fox News reports.

According to the tour’s website, Thursday promises to be a magical evening Clinton fans will never forget.

“Experience a one-of-a-kind conversation with two individuals who have helped shape our world and had a front seat to some of the most important moments in modern history,” reads the description for the live event. “From the American presidency to the halls of the Senate and State Department to one of the United States’ most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections, they provide a unique perspective on the past, and remarkable insight into where we go from here.”

The Clinton’s “unique perspective on the past” is something she’s worked to capitalize on in the wake of her humiliating defeat to Donald Trump in 2016, first with a book titled “What Happened” to offer excuses for her loss.

The tour will extend that conversation indefinitely at a time when Democrats vying for the presidential nomination in 2020 are attempting to court voters Hillary Clinton alienated in 2016.

The Clintons will follow up the April 11 talk in New York with stops in Detroit on Friday and Philadelphia on Saturday.

Despite Human Rights Abuses in Yemen, Saudi Soldiers Receive UK Military Training

The British state has been under criticism for not halting arms sales to Saudi Arabia following multiple reports of human rights abuses and one of the worst human tragedies involving civilian deaths due to hunger in Yemen.

More than 40 Saudi military cadets have been receiving training in British military colleges amid human rights abuse reports against the Gulf state’s forces in Yemen, local media reported on Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

According to the information received through freedom of information channels by The Guardian, the cadets are being trained at Sandhurst, the Royal Air Force school at Cranwell and the Royal Navy College since 2015.

The British Ministry of Defense declined to inform the daily about the amounts of the contracts, the report said.

Recently, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt criticized Germany for halting arm sales to Saudi Arabia, following the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle is quoted by the newspaper as saying that Britain’s training of Saudi officers in the U.K. was “the tip of the iceberg of British enablement of the Saudi war machine to devastate the people of Yemen”.

“The government argues that helping Saudi prosecute its war crimes is stabilising the Gulf. This is a cynical, morally bankrupt and, most importantly, erroneous position taken to make money out of human suffering,” he said.

The UK has sold at least £5.7billion ($7.47 billion) worth of arms to the Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting in Yemen since 2015, according to an analysis released by Sky News last month.

The Duran — Wikileaks has just released another 1,135 John Podesta emails, bringing the total to 43,104 with seven days left until the November 8th US elections.

The latest release shows more Clinton Foundation pay-to-play arrangements, but not with Morocco kings or Saudi princes, but with a Ukraine oligarch.

In an email from President Clinton’s Director of Foreign Policy, Amitabh Desai, to Hillary Clinton’s inner circle (including Huma Abedin and John Podesta), we see the Clinton Foundation’s biggest donor, billionaire Victor Pinchuk, push Hillary Clinton staff to either set up a “private” meeting with Bill Clinton (aka WJC), or “bring together a few western leaders to show support for Ukraine”…with WJC present at the event to show his commitment to “the county [sic] and for him [Victor Pinchuk].”

We are betting that Pinchuk was planning on leveraging Bill Clinton’s presence to display that the future President (via her husband) was fully behind the oligarch and his faltering plan to pivot west.

The email exchange paints a picture of a Ukraine oligarch “relentlessly following up” to expose his connection to the Clinton family, given that (as Desai wrote) Pinchuk “is under Putin’s heel right now, feeling a great degree of pressure and pain for his many years of nurturing stronger ties with the West.”

It’s important to note that Pinchuk was a big supporter of the Maidan coup…a foreign policy debacle that Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland (another Hillary Clinton state department protege) helped spearhead.

From 2009 up to 2013 (the year the Ukrainian coup erupted), the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, which is headquartered in Kiev.

GOP leader on 2020: We need a 'referendum on socialism'

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday said he wants to make the 2020 presidential and Senate elections a “referendum on socialism” by pinning down Democrats on proposals like "Medicare for all" and the Green New Deal.

“We need to have a referendum on socialism,” McConnell told a group of reporters when asked for his assessment of next year’s elections, when Senate Republicans will have to defend 22 seats, compared with12 for Democrats.

“I’m going to be arguing, and I’m encouraging my colleagues to argue, that we are the firewall against socialism in this country,” McConnell added.

He said Republicans need to make the case to the American people, “if you’re uncomfortable with things like the Green New Deal and Medicare for none, the best way to avoid that is to have a Republican Senate."

McConnell predicted that Republicans would have a target-rich environment with at least five Democratic presidential candidates backing Medicare for all legislation and at least six supporting the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) ambitious plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’ve got five credible candidates for president in the Senate signed up for the Green New Deal and Medicare for none. If we can’t make that case, we ought to go into another line of work,” he said.

McConnell argues that will be the key to reversing the drop in support among women and college graduates that hurt Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections, when Democrats won back the House and captured GOP-held Senate seats in Arizona and Nevada.

He said Republicans lost races last year because “we got crushed in the suburbs.”

Notable: Stefanik moves to prevent Comey-era spy abuses at FBI.

Stefanik Moves To Prevent Comey-Era Spy Abuses At FBI

APRIL 11, 2019 By Mollie Hemingway

Elise Stefanik, a Republican lawmaker who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, introduced legislation Wednesday that would require the FBI director to promptly inform Congress when investigations of candidates for federal office are undertaken by federal law enforcement or intelligence authorities.

Two years ago, when then-FBI Director James Comey finally notified Congress that he’d opened up a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign the previous year, some members were deeply troubled. Not only was the FBI director not supposed to hide his counterintelligence work from a key group of congressional members who receive his briefings, he was supposed to notify them in particular about politically sensitive probes.

The legislation from Stefanik, a two-term representative from New York, addresses a loophole in current law that allowed Comey to unilaterally withhold that information from key congressional oversight bodies. In a March 2016 hearing, Comey admitted to Stefanik that he did not follow the typical protocols or procedures regarding notifying Congress about the opening of a counterintelligence investigation in part because he was not required to do so.

Pressed to explain why he waited nine months to brief the leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees, he admitted he was supposed to provide quarterly updates but had refused to do so regarding the Trump-Russia probe for the same reason many thought he should have done so. “I think our decision was, it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t include it in the quarterly briefings,” he said.

Comey suggested in testimony that he did not make the decision to hide the information from Congress, placing the blame on the “head of our counterintelligence division.” But Bill Priestap, the former assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, told a joint congressional committee it was Comey himself who made the decision to hide the existence of the anti-Trump spy operation from Congress.

“Mr. Comey was involved in those notifications. I was not,” Priestap told lawmakers. “I don’t instruct Mr. Comey, nor did I ever instruct him to do anything.” When Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, asked him point-blank “Who made the decision not to brief Congress in this particular instance?” Priestap said, “Mr. Comey.”

Stefanik’s legislation would formalize the requirement of quarterly updates on counterintelligence briefings. In addition, it would require the FBI director to “promptly notify” the committees if the agency was investigating any candidate for federal office, any candidate’s campaign, or any individual known to be affiliated with a campaign.

The Trump-Russia probe from the 2016 campaign touched off a massive scandal that included wiretaps of private citizens, weaponization of campaign-funded opposition research, the deployment of overseas intelligence assets against American citizens, and allegations that America’s top law enforcement and intelligence officials were attempting a soft coup of the duly-elected president of the United States. That probe, thanks to strategic leaks from intelligence officials, then folded into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sprawling two-year-long investigation. It resulted in zero charges related to collusion or conspiracy with Russia to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

Attorney General William Barr acknowledged the spy operation before the Senate Wednesday, and said he is reviewing the origins of the probe.

1,000 Pounds of Meth Seized by Mexican Authorities

Elements of the Mexican Federal Police, Mexican Army, and Mexican Navy seized more than 1045 pounds of methamphetamine and 3.5 tons (7054.7 pounds) of marijuana. The seizures took place in three separate operations during the last week in the northern Mexican border states of Baja California and Sonora.

The first incident took place on April 3 at the Tijuana airport when Mexican federal police assigned to customs inspections in the section which received incoming parcels. During random inspections, agents received an alert from a K-9 drug detection dog on a substance contained within seven large plastic containers. The containers originated from Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes — a state located in central Mexico. The K-9 alerted to a second container which originated from Campeche, Campeche which was also determined to contain, methamphetamine. The total weight of both seizures totaled 201 kilograms, or 443 pounds, according to local media reports. The methamphetamine seized was in liquid form.

The next seizure occurred on April 4 when Mexican Navy personnel assigned to the San Felipe and Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) sector seized approximately four tons of marijuana and methamphetamine in the vicinity of the Gulf of Santa Clara, Baja California. According to the government officials, Mexican Navy (SEMAR) carried out surveillance in the area north of San Felipe, BC based on intelligence developed on illegal drug activity in the area where organized crime has been transporting illicit cargo by sea. Navy personnel spotted two suspicious vessels which fled after being spotted. Navy personnel eventually located the two abandoned vessels containing more than 3,200 kilograms (7,054 pounds) of marijuana and 160 kilograms (352 pounds) of methamphetamine.

The final seizure took place in the Mexican border city of San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, which sits directly across the border from San Luis, Arizona. According to local media reports, personnel of the Federal Attorney General’s office executed a search warrant at a residence in San Luis Río Colorado after being tipped off by elements of the Mexican Army. According to a statement from the state attorney general’s office, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at a residence after an individual fled from security elements into the house. A search by investigators resulted in the discovery of granular substance believed to be methamphetamine with a weight of 39 kilograms (86 pounds) and a liquid substance believed to be methamphetamine with a weight of just over 74 kilograms (163 pounds). The total weight of both the granular and liquid meth came out to 250 pounds. Investigators also seized an AR-15 rifle with extra ammo and magazine.

Every House Democrat but one cosponsors bill intended to let biological male athletes compete against females in pubic schools

Only two Republicans are cosponsoring the Equality Act

All the Democrats in the House of Representatives except one are cosponsoring a bill that's intended, in part, to allow biological male athletes who identify as females to compete against biological females in public schools.

The Equality Act would broadly amend civil rights legislation to outlaw discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, education, federal programs and credit, NBC News reported. The bill's specific language prohibits discrimination based on peoples' "sexual orientation and gender identity."

But some cosponsors and supporters of the bill are looking at the bill as an avenue to allow transgender athletes in public schools to compete on teams that match their gender identities — which has become a contentious issue nationwide of late.

What do supporters and cosponsors say regarding transgender athletes?

Democratic House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (N.Y.) offered the following in his opening statement last week about the Equality Act:

Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women's sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out. Sports have positive impacts on physical, social, and emotional well-being, and we should not be denying transgender athletes those opportunities simply because sometimes they may win. Nor should their occasional success be used as a roadblock to advancing civil rights legislation for LGBT people as a whole.

Sarah Warbelow — director of the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group — championed the Equality Act in written testimony to the House and echoed Nadler's words, saying it's a myth that transgender female athletes have unfair advantages over biological female athletes:

Opponents of equality in athletics for transgender athletes have argued that girls who are transgender have unfair physiological advantages over cisgender girls and as a result, will dominate women's competitive sports. Some have also suggested that girls who are transgender pose a threat to their cisgender teammates both on the field and in shared locker rooms. None of these arguments are rooted in fact. Existing evidence shows that denying opportunities and access to students based on their gender identity causes actual harm to those students, while there is no data to suggest that girls who are transgender are dominating athletics or posing a harm to their cisgender counterparts.

IMFC Statement of Secretary Mnuchin

Washington – U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank:

I welcome the opportunity to discuss the state of the United States and global economy at the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings. While growth in the United States remains robust, growth abroad has softened materially, with risks of a further slowdown if countries do not take action to reduce uncertainty and bolster confidence. Countries should also undertake stronger efforts to address underlying structural impediments and help raise medium-term growth. A well-functioning IMF can play a key role in supporting these efforts, promoting policies aimed at more balanced and durable global growth, and strengthening economic capacity and governance.

Strong underlying fundamentals helped power the U.S. economy to its best growth performance in over a decade in 2018, with real GDP expanding by 3 percent over the four quarters of last year. One year after the passage of tax reform, business investment has surged and productivity growth has begun to pick up. American families are enjoying key benefits afforded by lower tax rates. Labor markets have continued to strengthen, with the participation rates for all workers and prime-age employees rising, suggesting that tax reform has drawn workers back into the labor force in numbers that are more than offsetting downward pressure from demographics. The number of job openings exceeds the number of unemployed persons, and wage growth has accelerated to its fastest pace in 10 years.

Beyond the United States, global growth has slowed since we last met, and determined action is needed to return the global economy to strong, broad-based expansion. Disappointing economic data across most regions of the global economy raise questions about the extent and depth of current weaknesses. While this may prove to be a temporary soft patch, a more widespread downturn creates risks of a prolonged stagnation. Countries with weak economic activity or muted growth need to proactively deploy macroeconomic policies and pursue productivity-enhancing reforms in order to bolster both near-term and medium-term growth.

To that end, the United States continues in its efforts to address restrictive trade practices around the world that are impeding stronger and more balanced U.S. and global growth. To achieve a balanced and fair trading system, we must address the significant imbalances in global trade that stem in part from unfair trade policies and high trade barriers.

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is an example of progress and cooperation across borders that will move us in the right direction as we look to rebalance North American trade. Working with Mexican and Canadian counterparts, we negotiated the strongest financial services provisions of any U.S. trade agreement and secured new commitments on currency issues, boosting transparency and accountability. This trade agreement is key to ensuring positive outcomes for businesses and workers across North America.

Continuing large global trade and current account imbalances also pose risks to the strength and stability of future global growth. While imbalances narrowed following the global financial crisis, they have been broadly unchanged at close to 2 percent of global GDP since 2013. Persistent imbalances are intensifying these risks across major economies. In order to support stronger and more sustainable global growth – particularly at a juncture where global activity is flagging – countries reliant upon large and persistent external surpluses to drive domestic growth should reorient their macroeconomic policies to boost domestic demand.

The current state of affairs reinforces the importance of IMF reforms to maintain its relevance and effectiveness. This will not be the first time the international community has looked closely at the IMF. Over the years, the IMF has undergone a series of transformations, responding to fundamental changes in the world economy and international monetary system, and it should continue to evolve to respond to the challenges ahead.

EU clears way for start of formal trade talks with U.S

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union countries gave initial clearance on Thursday to start formal trade talks with the United States, EU sources said, a move designed but not guaranteed to smooth strained relations between the world’s two largest economies.

The European Commission, which coordinates trade policy for the 28 member European Union, has sought clearance for two negotiating mandates — one to cut tariffs on industrial goods, the other to make it easier for companies to show products meet EU or U.S. standards.

The Commission presented its mandates in January and found support from most EU members. France resisted, however, insisting that agriculture should not feature in the talks but that climate change provisions should — a difficult demand given U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.

The European Union and the United States reached a detente last July when Trump agreed to hold off from imposing punitive tariffs on EU cars as the two sides sought to improve economic ties.

U.S. tariffs still apply to EU steel and aluminum, however, while Trump threatened on Tuesday to impose further tariffs on $11 billion worth of EU products related to a long-running aircraft subsidy dispute.

A joint EU/U.S. statement in July referred to a goal of removing tariffs on “non-auto industrial goods”.

EU sources said ambassadors agreed to the mandates at a meeting on Thursday.

National ministers will still need to give final approval, although they would normally do so without debate. One source said the mandates had been added to the agenda of an agriculture ministers’ meeting in Brussels on Monday.

CARS, FARM PRODUCTS IN OR OUT?

The Commission has repeatedly said it will not discuss tariffs or barriers to trade in farm products, but is willing to discuss cars, setting it on a possible collision course with Washington.

The Trump administration has a wide-ranging wish list, including comprehensive agricultural market access.

Diplomats say Germany, whose exports of cars and parts to the United States are more than half the EU total, wants to press ahead with talks to ward off tariffs on carmakers Volkswagen, Mercedes maker Daimler and BMW.

France, with very few U.S. car exports, had been seeking to push the issue beyond the European Parliament election in May, convinced that dealing with Trump is not a vote winner.

The U.S. Trade Representative has meanwhile proposed targeting a list of $11 billion worth of EU products for tariffs, ranging from large commercial aircraft to dairy products and wine, as retaliation against European subsidies for Airbus. A final list is expected this summer.

The European Commission said it had started to draw up plans to retaliate over subsidies for U.S. planemaker Boeing.

Both sides have won partial victories at the World Trade Organization in claiming the other’s planemaker received unlawful subsidies but disagree on the amount involved and whether each has complied with earlier WTO rulings.

DIG ON JA BOOK

Gore Vidal, "friend" of the Kennedy family in 1963 (closer to your enemy?) Threat on RFK in 67' one year before assassination.

Found this while searching on that guy : FBI file

page 26 is interesting : https://archive.org/details/GoreVidal/page/n25

Lots & lots of articles on the web, lot of controversy.

Stopping here my research, just wanted to know why JA carried THIS book, after 7 years of captivity. And here's my conclusion :

Julian knows we're watching, he pointed that guy to us. Wants us to dig.

Vidal is linked to bad cabal psyops, like the John Birch Society, (former tea party).

I think the guy had big implications in JFK & RFK murders. This article states

Baker plz NOTABLE for the call to shovels
